That looks awesome!!!! Better than mine! And cheaper!!!! I have Reptifogger and absolutely LOVE IT!!!! It pretty much solved my humidity issues. ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1465159094.503150.jpg here are my babies at almost 12 months old. Aside from fairly smooth shells, they eat, poo and pee up a storm. I only run my fogger for about 10 min/day and that's during breakfast. After they finish eating i turn the red basking bulb which is close to the fogger hose outlet, they both sit directly below it, sticking their necks out with heads directed into the billowing fog, and that's how they bask. That's also the only time I ever see them sit under any basking light

That's how mine is, I'm looking for an alternate power source fogger so I don't have to worry about splashing water on it.

Awesome! This is how I hooked up mineImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1465310726.234063.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1465310873.541210.jpg. The end of the hose sits directly on the screen cover secured with duck tape to the Reflectix (insulation that I used to make the closed chamber)

Wow this thing is awesome! Easy to set up, works great. I have only had it turned on for like 5 minutes, but so far I love it! I don't have a closed chamber, and humidity is ALWAYS a problem here in Michigan. I think this is really going to help. I have the hose running next to his heat lamp so the "fog" can get warm and steamy. I'm so happy with it!

Use distilled water in it and it will last much longer without problems. Otherwise calcium build ups can cause them to clog up and have problems

Yes, only distilled water, I have to run it for only 7-10 min per day and in closed chamber it keeps humidity way above 80% at all times with high temps. With this much of use I only refill the bottle once every few weeks (way over a month!) I totally love mine! Any of those room humidifiers would work as well if I had more craftiness in me to figure out how to connect the hose to the outlet. I've got the 2 "left hands" so have to buy things pre-made and ready to use:)

You can make your own humidifier for a fraction of the cost. I bought this humidifier from walgreens for $19.99 and just took the plastic bit out that sat in the whole and put a plastic tube in from the hardware store. Its been going strong for 2 years now.
